Key background
the Sunday Times Or London reported over the weekend that Charles and his advisers had accepted a total of 3 million euros, or more than $ 3.1 million, in cash from Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. The donations were delivered once in a suitcase, once in a container bag and once in bags from the Fortnum & Mason department store. the Sunday Times did not claim anything illegal was done with the donations and Clarence House, Charles’ office, said “all the correct processes were followed.” However, Charles was still critical of the act, with the British Charity Commission saying it would review the situation to see if an inquiry was needed, although there were no rules for accepting cash donations, according to the BBC.
